Description morrigan w 2012-06-18 12:12:12 CEST
Description of problem:

syslog says:

Jun 18 11:37:04 phoenix gdm-fingerprint][1806]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so): /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jun 18 11:37:04 phoenix gdm-fingerprint][1806]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so


The pam rules for gdm-fingerprint come from a default package:

[root@phoenix morrigan]# rpm -qf /etc/pam.d/gdm-fingerprint
gdm-3.4.1-2.mga3.x86_64

The missing /lib64/security/pam_fprintd.so is in fprintd-pam, so maybe a dependency to it would make sense here.

Or alternatively by default comment out the line in /etc/pam.d/gdm-fingerprint that refers to that module.

Still valid? Needs a nudge?
